Definitions

  • the present invention is related generally to electrical power systems, and in particular to starting/generating systems.
  • Starting/generating systems refer to systems capable of operating in either a starting mode in which the system operates as a motor to accelerate a rotor portion to a desired speed or in a generating mode in which the system operates as a generator to convert mechanical energy provided by the rotor portion into electrical energy for distribution to attached loads.
  • a pre-charging or soft-start circuit may be employed to prevent large in-rush currents from damaging a DC link capacitor(s).
  • prior art pre-charge circuits may employ a switching device and resistor (connected in parallel with one another) connected in series on the DC link bus between the power supply and the inverter/rectifier circuit. The switching device is turned OFF in order to force current through the resistor connected in parallel with the switching device, thereby limiting the current provided to the inverter/rectifier circuit and DC link capacitor.
  • this topology does not provide functionality beyond pre-charge operations.
  • the switching device and resistor can be placed in series with the DC link capacitor, which is connected between the DC link buses in parallel with the inverter/rectifier circuit.
  • the switching device is not required to be capable of carrying the full inverter/rectifier current, but the presence of the switching device in series with the capacitor decreases the performance of the DC link capacitor, due to the resistance of the switching device.
  • JP 6284709 discloses a circuit in which a capacitor is connected in parallel with a DC power supply. A switch is connected in series with the power supply. When the switch is closed the capacitor is connected to the power supply and charges rapidly. When the input current exceeds a specified value, the switch is opened for a set time.
  • US 2009/005661 A1 discloses an engine starting system in which a capacitor is used to charge a discharged battery. When the engine is in use, the capacitor is charged by the electrical output of an alternator. The system pre-charges the capacitor by connecting the capacitor and battery via a switch in order to prevent a large inrush current from the battery to the capacitor.
  • JP 04289740 discloses an AC supply connected to a forward converter via a first switch. The output of the forward converter is connected to a reverse converter, which is also connected to a battery via a second switch.
  • both the second switch is closed and the forward converter is operated as a reverse converter and is controlled to reduce deviations between AC signals either side of the first switch.
  • the first switch is only closed when the deviations are close to zero. In-rush currents are thereby prevented from flowing in the line connecting the supply and converter.
  • starting/generating systems employ additional hardware/circuits to implement functions such as battery charging, power flow enablement, and fault protection.
  • additional hardware/circuit components add to the overall cost and weight of starting/generating systems, reduction of which is desirable.
  • a starting/generating system comprises a pre-charge circuit configured to pre-charge a DC link capacitor and limit in-rush currents on a direct current (DC) link that includes a first DC link bus and a second DC link bus.
  • the pre-charge circuit comprises: a switching device connectable in series with the first DC link bus, wherein the switching device operates in either an ON state or an OFF state; and a controller connected to selectively modulate the state of the switching device during a pre-charge cycle to limit in-rush currents on the DC link, wherein the controller is configured to turn the switching device ON to enable power flow from a DC power source to an inverter/rectifier during starting operations, and is configured to turn the switching device OFF to disable power flow from the DC power source to the inverter/rectifier in response to DC voltage provided by the starting/generating system exceeding the DC voltage provided by the DC power source, and is configured to turn the switching device OFF in response to a detected fault condition during generating operations.

  • Power source 50 represents a generic power source for providing DC power to starting/generating system 10 during starting operations and DC load 52 represents a generic load that receives power from starting/generating system 10 during generating operations.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 represents the system employed with respect to a wound field synchronous generator, but would be applicable to other generator systems such as flux regulated permanent magnet generators and other well-known starting/generating systems.
  • DC power source 50 In the starting mode, electrical energy provided by DC power source 50 is converted to alternating current (AC) power by inverter/rectifier 36 (operating as an inverter). Further, the exciter power converter H-bridge 42 delivers AC power to the exciter field winding 40.
  • the exciter acts as a rotary transformer having a primary winding comprising the field winding 40 and secondary windings comprising the armature windings 22 so that AC power is induced in the armature windings 22.
  • the AC power is rectified by the rotating rectifier 20 and applied as DC power to the main generator portion field winding 18.
  • the AC power is provided to main generator portion armature winding 38, which interacts with main generator portion field winding 18 to generate motive force that causes rotor portion 12 to rotate.
  • the rotating field generated by field winding 18 interacts with main generator portion armature winding 38 to generate AC voltage.
  • Inverter/rectifier 36 (operating as a rectifier) converts the AC voltage to DC voltage that is supplied to DC load 52.
  • the DC voltage may be used to charge an attached battery (for example, DC power source 50).
  • the dual functionality of starting/generating system 10 is illustrated visually by switch S1, which indicates that starting/generating system may receive power from DC source 50 (starting mode) and may supply power to a DC load 52 (generating mode).
  • the DC power source i.e., battery
  • the DC power source may also act as a DC load during re-charging of the battery from power generated by starting/generating system 10.
  • Solid-state circuit breaker 30 is connected on DC link bus 34a in series between inverter/rectifier 36 and DC power source 50 (or DC load 52, depending on the mode of operation). Solid-state circuit breaker 30 combines functionality previously provided by a plurality of individual circuits. During pre-charge (i.e., soft-starting) of DC link capacitor C2, the state of solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively modulated (i.e., turned ON and OFF) to control in-rush currents. During a starting mode (subsequent to pre-charge), solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively controlled to enable power flow from DC power source 50 to inverter/rectifier 36 and to disable power flow from inverter/rectifier 36 to DC power source 50.
  • pre-charge i.e., soft-starting
  • the state of solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively modulated (i.e., turned ON and OFF) to control in-rush currents.
  • solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively controlled to enable power flow
  • solid-state circuit breaker 30 enables power provided by the generator to be supplied to DC load 52, and is selectively controlled (i.e., turned OFF) in response to fault conditions such as short-circuit conditions, overload conditions, etc., to prevent damage to the generator and/or DC load 52. Also during the generating modes, solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively modulated to provide a desired current profile for battery charging operations.
  • Pre-charging (i.e., soft-starting) of DC link capacitor C2 prevents large currents from damaging DC link capacitor C2 during an initial application of power from DC power source 50.
  • Pre-charging functionality is provided by selectively modulating solid-state circuit breaker 30 (i.e., turning it ON and OFF). In-rush current is a function of the voltage applied to the capacitor and the characteristics of the capacitor. By selectively modulating solid-state circuit breaker 30, the voltage applied to DC link capacitor C2 can be controlled, thereby limiting the in-rush current provided to DC link capacitor C2.
  • controller 32 monitors one or more parameters and based on the monitored parameters selectively controls the modulation of solid-state circuit breaker 30.
  • the operation of controller 32 may be closed-loop or open-loop, depending on the application.
  • the duty cycle of solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively controlled without feedback regarding the voltage or current provided to DC link capacitor C2.
  • controller 32 may control the duty cycle based on the length of time from application of power from DC power source 50, with the duty cycle increasing based on some function (linearly or non-linearly) until the expiration of the pre-charge cycle.
  • solid-state circuit breaker 30 is turned ON (i.e., maintained in the ON state continuously) such that DC power source 50 supplies power to inverter/rectifier 36 for starting operations.
  • controller 32 monitors one or more parameters and in response selectively controls the modulation (i.e., duty cycle) of solid-state circuit breaker 30.
  • parameters used to determine the modulation of solid-state circuit breaker 30 include the monitored DC link voltage, the monitored DC link capacitor current, and/or the monitored DC link current. Based on these parameters controller 32 can selectively control in-rush currents during pre-charge of DC link capacitor C2. For example, because the in-rush current is dependent on the voltage supplied to DC link capacitor C2, the monitored DC link voltage may be used as feedback to selectively control the in-rush current. Controller 32 monitors the voltage across DC link and in response selectively modulates solid-state circuit breaker 30 to provide the desired pre-charge of capacitor C2.
  • the duty cycle of solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively increased until some pre-charge threshold, at which time solid-state circuit breaker is maintained in the ON state (continuously) to provide starting power to inverter/rectifier 36.
  • the monitored DC link current and/or DC link capacitor current can be used as feedback to selectively control the in-rush current.
  • the duty cycle is increased until at the end of the pre-charge cycle solid-state transistor 30 is maintained in the ON state (continuously) to provide starting power to inverter/rectifier 36.
  • Monitoring the in-rush current directly provides feedback regarding the output to be controlled, but requires additional hardware (e.g., current sensors) to implement.
  • Solid-state circuit breaker 30 may also be used to selectively enable power flow during starting operations and may be used to disable power flow in response to the voltage generated by the generator exceeding the voltage provided by DC power source 50 (prior to supplying voltage from the generator to DC load 52). For example, having pre-charged DC link capacitor C2, solid-state circuit breaker 30 is selectively controlled (i.e., turned ON) to enable power flow from DC power source 50 to inverter/rectifier 36 to operate in a starting mode that may include accelerating rotor portion 12, igniting a combustor (for gas turbine engines) and assisting in accelerating the rotor portion 12 to a desired speed following successful ignition.
  • a starting mode may include accelerating rotor portion 12, igniting a combustor (for gas turbine engines) and assisting in accelerating the rotor portion 12 to a desired speed following successful ignition.
  • solid-state circuit breaker 30 is turned OFF to prevent power generated by starting/generating system 10 from flowing into DC power source 50.
  • controller 32 turns solid-state circuit breaker 30 OFF to disable power flow from DC power source to starting/generating system 10 (or vice versa).
  • Circuit breaker 30 may also be employed during the generating mode to provide the desired current profile for optimal battery charging.
  • DC power source 50 may be a battery that requires re-charging after each starting operation.
  • controller 32 monitors the current provided to the battery and selectively modulates solid-state circuit breaker 30 to provide the desired current profile for charging.
  • the current provided to the battery is sensed and provided as feedback to controller 32, although in other embodiments other parameters may be monitored and used in feedback to control the current profile during battery charging operations.
  • Solid-state circuit breaker may also be employed to provide fault protection during the generator mode by selectively disabling power flow from starting/generating system 10 to DC load 52 in response to a detected fault condition.
  • controller 32 may monitor one or more parameters, such as DC link voltage, DC link current and/or DC link capacitor current to detect faults such as short-circuits.
  • controller 32 causes solid-state circuit breaker 30 to turn OFF to prevent excessive currents from being provided to DC load 52.
  • the fault protection provided by solid-state circuit breaker 30 is not activated until a detected fault has existed on the link for a predetermined period of time, to prevent transient conditions from initiating fault protection. Additional parameters well-known in the art for detecting fault conditions may also be monitored by controller 32.
  • other controllers, such as control electronics 48 may provide input to controller 32 regarding detected fault conditions. In response to these inputs, controller 32 selectively activates fault protection by turning OFF solid-state circuit breaker 30.
  • the present invention provides a starting/generating circuit topology in which a solid-state circuit breaker is employed to implement a number of functions required at various stages of starting/generating system operation.
  • the solid-state circuit breaker is connected in series on a DC link bus and is selectively controlled (e.g., turned ON and OFF) to provide the desired functionality.
